Twenty years later, Millie's chance run-in with her old flame sparks a desire she just can't ignore. And this time, she won't let him ride off . . .

After ending a loveless marriage, High is shocked when his true love walks back into his life. Millie is still gorgeous, but she's just a ghost of her former self. High's intrigued at the change, but her betrayal cut him deep-and he doesn't want to get burned again. As High sinks into meting out vengeance for Millie's betrayal, he'll break all over again when he realizes just how Millie walked through fire for her man . . .

Review

"I have never cried so many times and so desperately as I did while reading this breathtaking story, every aspect of it touching everything that I am, everything that I dream of... Whether you're a fan of MC romances or not, it does not matter in this case-this is a story that first and foremost celebrates women for their resilience, for their selflessness, for their ability to love without limits, all the while underlining the meaning of true love."―Natasha is a Book Junkie

Like most reviewers, I loved the first 1/2 of this book. KA is my favorite author. She writes second chance romance better than anyone. My issues with this book include the main plot point of why Millie left High in the beginning. I won't spoil it, but wow....Millie's reason for leaving was ridiculous. Honestly, why everyone seemed humbled by her "sacrifice" for high....just crazy. I even figured out what the reason was, and I prayed I was wrong. The other thing I didn't really like....Zadie. This was the first KA book that I can remember where the ex-wife wasn't a raving lunatic who was a rotten mom. Yay....instead we get a raving lunatic rotten 10 year-old. Ugh...ruined the book for me and I had to put it down for days. I normally power through a KA book. Not so much with this one. The twists and turns all turned out to be nothing at all. They made big deals out of little problems. I have to give it sometime before I re-read. Again, the first part of this book was great (except for the reason Millie left), but then it was a lot of talk about nothing. I skimmed a lot. I still love KA and look forward to her next Unfinished Heroes book!

It’s a given, any second chance romance she writes is going to be heart wrenching but in the end, taking the journey with the H/H would be satisfying .

Millie and Logan met and fell in love one night at a party. They soon moved in together and shared their lives for 3 magnificent years.

But one day, Millie sent Logan away. She told him she wanted more to life that being tied to an outlaw biker.

Logan walked away. He didn’t question Millie, he didn’t follow his gut that was telling him something was wrong. He didn’t turn back.

Millie sent Logan away and he followed his broken heart and left.

23 years later Millie sees Logan at a store. She decides to tell him the truth.

The road back wasn’t easy. Chaos accepted Millie with open arms, and when she left Logan, he felt the lose deeply, he sought action to the extreme, went chasing after danger at any cost.

But at some point something changed. Logan (AKA High, so nicknamed for his love of getting high) got a woman pregnant. They decided to get married and had 2 daughters.

The book starts with Millie seeing Logan after 23 years, hearing his conversation with his ex. Learning Logan has 2 daughters makes Millie act. She seeks Logan at every possible place she knows, intent on telling him the truth.

Logan isn’t having it. He is cruel, crude and mean to her.

They end up having angry sex at various points of the book. We know the emotion is there we just don’t know what happened.

When Kristen Ashley takes us back in time and shares memories (from both POV's) you are laughing, happy, sad, on the edge of your sit. Because you know, that the great love and affection they had for each other, wasn’t enough.

When things blow, its in a spectacular way!!

Millie is devastated and I actually HATED Hop, Tack and the rest of the Chaos brothers for hurting her the way they did. But it’s the turning point we were waiting for.

Millie tells Logan she has walked through fire for him for 23 years and she isn’t wrong. The reason behind the breakup will leave you gutted and in tears.

After that storm, Logan (as he was always Logan to Millie, High only to his brothers and the rest of the world) does everything in his power to get Millie back.

He understands her reasons for leaving and agrees he might have done the same.

He again becomes a part of Millie's life, he pushes her to remember the girl she was, live, laugh, have adventures, party with friends and live life to the fullest.

Logan introduces her to his 2 daughters, the youngest of which has a hard time accepting her. But Millie handles herself with style.

I loved seeing Millie and Logan re-connect after so many years. So many things remained the same, but at the same time, a lot has changed .They grew and matured.

I'm not sure there's a soul alive that does second chance romances like Kristen Ashley. So many of her stories surround two people who lost so much time, so many dreams, so much of who they were and who they might have been when they lost each other. Walk Through Fire follows Millie and High, two halves of a broken whole, characters who lost everything when they lost each other twenty years prior. Through flashbacks and through the eyes of various character's points of view, we're given full insight into how Millie and High met, how quickly they fell in love, and how far they fell when they fell apart. This story is everything a second chance biker love story should be, the complete package rife with raw emotion and characters that I instantly fell in love with. This book ruined me for everything I planned to read after because I'm still there, in Denver, in Chaos, consumed with this unforgettable, epic love story.

Millie lives a life of giving everyone else what they need, even if they never asked for that, and even if it's at the expense of what she wants. She doesn't want her friends and family to worry about her so she's perfected the act of living as if everything is okay, as if she's moved on. The fact is, she hasn't lived at all since she made the ultimate sacrifice of giving up everything she ever wanted so that Logan "High" Judd could have it. This is a story that examines what might have been, how one decision changed the paths of so many different people forever, and it garners hope for what could be.

But wait... can we just talk about Chaos for a minute, please? Thank you. Bikers are bikers and I'm not a reader that easily offends. I don't get turned off by bikers that do what bikers do... living free and wild and not abiding by a moral code or the law. I get it. I go in to every biker book knowing and expecting that bikers are outlaws, they're criminals, they're unapologetic, they do and say and take what they want and they do it often and some of that might mean my heart getting shredded in the process. With that said, my love and appreciation for how the Chaos club rolls, for the kind of club Kristen Ashley created here, knows no bounds. Chaos lives wild and free BUT they're loyal. They're good. They treat their women like gold. They are faithful and they take care of their responsibilities. They're bikers through and through, badass as all get out, they do what needs to be done to protect their club and everyone in the fold. But they do it in a way that makes you come away from these books always feeling good. They love as hard as they ride, they steamroll into our lives, just like they do with their women, and they demand we fall hard and fast, just like their women do. Like every Chaos brother Kristen Ashley has penned, High is loyal, he's faithful, he's a caregiver, he's affectionate. But he steps it up with his flowery biker goodness despite his history of toeing the line within the club. He's delicious and everything he is to Millie, for her and with her and because of her, makes this story so much more damn beautiful.

The sheer joy I felt while reading this book was equivalent only to the profound sadness I felt while reading this book. It's a strange yet awesome dichotomy Ashley created with this story, as she has so many times before, giving the reader, along with her characters, so much to celebrate, so much to be happy and hopeful and grateful for, while still reminding them of all that's been lost. No matter how beautiful a future these characters have, there's always that lingering sadness over the time that can never be recaptured. That's happened to so many of Ashley's characters, but it's especially prominent in this story. That time, that walk through fire, all that Millie sacrificed so that what could be would be... It's sad. Beautiful and wonderful and sad.

When I first discovered Kristen Ashley, I can clearly remember feeling completely consumed by certain books. I'd forgo sleep to stay up late into the night reading her stories, I'd wake up unable to think of anything else but diving right back in. Not every book does that to me, but Walk Through Fire took me back to that time. It's one of those books!! I. COULD. NOT. STOP. I was mentally and emotionally consumed with High and Millie. I was ravenous for this story to unfold, yet I dreaded it ending at all. It's just gripping.

This entire book was exquisite Kristen Ashley perfection. But the first half, the flashbacks to the past, the glimpses into the present where Millie has lived as a ghost and High has lived longing for one, those first terribly hurtful reconnections after having spent so many years apart... THAT... that pain and that quintessential Kristen Ashley angst had me wanting to go back and re-read the first half of the book before I even finished the second half. It was just too good. Too raw. Too heart-stopping. Too fantastic for words. This is a book that I'll be re-reading, likely immediately. No one does romance, does bikers, does badass heroes and heroines like this author. No one. And Walk Through Fire can now officially be added to the list of my all-time KA favorites.
